I made a 60 by 60 inch "skull" quilt for my nephew for Christmas. Just have to finish the binding. When I bought the fabric, there was some actually attractive "skull" fabric (neon colors - yellow, blue, orange, pink, purple) that I actually really liked. I had to force myself to "think like a 7-year-old boy." The quilt makes me smile -- it is so not something I would ever make, but it has my nephew's name written ALL over it. I'll post pics soon.
I think I'm going to make my sister one of the Spicy Spiral Table Runners. I need to think of more things - things that are actually Christmas themed. Thanks everyone for the ideas!
